Open Water Swim, Otley

Skill:	Open Water Swim
Coach:	This is usually an un-coached session
Where:	Otley Sailing Club is reached through the old stock yards just north (less than 100 yards) of the bridge over the river in Otley (green arrow in map below). Apart from a couple of cars for the session organisers, no cars will be permitted on the access road to the sailing club. The area of waste ground (old stock yards) near the main road does not belong to the sailing club, but it is privately owned. We do not have any right to park there. There is a public car park in Otley just to the Waitrose side of the traffic lights in the town centre. There is a short cut from there to the bridge over the river. Parking is free after 6pm and therefore for the Tuesday swim session, but is charged at 40p per hour from 7.30am on Saturdays. View Larger Map
